HARRY Bicknell grabbed a treble but Rams Under 23s were taken down 54-17 at a power-packed Brunel University.
The hosts had shown their quality in drawing 24-24 at Rams Development side seven days earlier, and they flexed their muscles to take a decisive early lead.
Outside centre Sam Geall opened the Londoners account before Freddie Galzitine-Scott added the extras in the 16th minute.
Henry Long went over at the end of the first quarter for another converted score and 14-0.
And Brunel collected a third in 10 minutes when Messeguer and Galzitine-Scott combined for another seven points.
There was no let-up for the visitors as the Students then extended their advantage to 28-0.
But a glimmer of hope was provided just before the break as Bicknell dotted down.
It took just seven minutes of the second period for the hosts to snuff that out, however, a converted try making it 35-5.
Rams, though, refused to give up and mauled their way over for Bicknell’s second try.
Flanker Rob Bentham crossed for Brunel to extend the hosts’ lead to 40-10 at the end of the third quarter.
Things got worse for Rams as Will Saunders was sin-binned.
And two more converted tries took the home team past the half century.
The Berkshire boys did, though, have the final word as Bicknell completed his hat-trick before Luke Thorpe bisected the uprights.
